When I was hired my company gave me the option of either a Mac or a PC. I’ve always been more comfortable with Windows, so I chose the latter. That seems to make me the outlier because everyone on my team uses a Mac!
Even worse, IDE support and local development tooling only works on Macs! I’ve tried to solicit help from my team’s more senior members, but they don’t seem to care or even try to unblock me.
I’ve spent the last few weeks getting local builds working on Docker for Windows but no one will review my PRs because they say they don’t know enough about it, but it will be needed for me and any new hires that use Windows! For now I’ve just been running everything off of a local branch and just merge it in/unmerge it out before committing changes to the product. This is of course very inefficient and my manager has commented in our 1:1s that I spend too much time on tasks assigned to me. But I wouldn’t have to if they just had better support for Windows in the first place!
Should I just bail, or will my efforts to improve our OS diversity be recognized in the end??
